Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

Well, as one of the roadkill in that precise gap you are mentioning, I agree.
I also think that it's probably more work than you realize to create another division.
You get used to it. 2 Officials ago I was roadkill at the bottom of D5, then last official I worked my butt off and got 2nd place in D5.
Now I'm dead at the bottom of D6. I'd rather that than have the tournament become such a project it never happens at all.

Like I said, just my two cents! I'm not trying to argue with someone, but I don't agree with 75% of the way all of this has been set up so far.

This has been suggested. The question is, where do you draw the line?
While I agree the like 60+ people in D5 is probably too big, I'd love to hear your argument for the ideal size of a division.

Yeah this has happened in the past and is pretty stupid. Sometimes people ask to get bumped up, which is fine, but otherwise doing this involuntarily has as far as I can tell pretty much always been regarded as a mistake. I hope it doesn't happen this year. If people are truly sandbagging just ban them.
